This is Jerry Lawson. He invented the video game cartridge for the Fairchild Channel F system. Because of his invention, many consoles had cartridges and CD formats and would become the norm.

The Atari 2600, NES, Genesis, and many consoles wouldn't exist without him.

Happy Black History Month.

Jerry Lawson, the inventor of the video game cartridge.

Is it okay to leak the entire dex in icon format?
Because I'm too happy about finally finishing it not to share it!
